Lent - Core Value # 1

Open[ed] My Heart

Silence fell.
No words came from their mouths.

We remain silent for You, to
hear the words that bring us

to our knees -

We pray. The trees' limbs are
stretched high from the earth before

the wind bends them, bowing
over and over

beyond Sunday.

Silence holds my lips. They say,
before I was made, You knew me.

You knew I would follow
You and only waited -

offered me

before a church, humming
repeatedly with prayer.

Now and
before my heartbeat -

You open, and opened, my heart.
